Summary: CAPTIVATING
Review: Just when I thought the book series was getting a little repetitious with cars blowing up, Ramirez returning, and a lot of dead bodies ... I found myself captivated once again. Evanovich did it again ... she grabbed me and kept me turning page after page. As I was reading the last line of the last page my mouth dropped open and I heard myself say out loud "NO!" What a wonderful series to read. You will never want for more colorful chartacters, romance, and laughter as Stephanie Plum "Bounty Hunter" coninues her saga. Her love interest with Moralli is a continuing thread throughtout the series BUT in this book we learn of a new possibility ... could there be someone else in Stephanie's life? Well, I for one can't wait to find out.

Summary: Stepanie Plum is everyone's favorite bounty hunter
Review: Get ready to hold on Stephanie Plum is back and she is funnier and still as crazy as she always has been. This time instead of tracking down a FTA she is looking for her Uncle Fred. When she first gets asked to look for Uncle Fred she thinks this will be a simple case that she will figure out and find Uncle Fred and get back to looking FTA's. But she is wrong. During her look for Fred she runs across Ramieriz again she is worried that he will try and hurt her again. She also goes on one of her FTA runs and comes across a angry little man Briggs who is out to make Stephanies life a living nightmare. Stephanie is also trying to pick up some side work and agrees to work with Ranger and do some work for him, but while doing this she starts to feel an attaction to Ranger and is confused because she still has feelings for Morelli. Overall this was another great Stephanie Plum book and I can't wait to read the next few books about Stephanie and her gang of friends.

Summary: High Praise for High Five!!!!!!
Review: In High Five, the fifth book in the Stephanie Plum novels Janet Evanovich continues on her roll of terrific stories!!!!
Stephanie Plum is trying to find her Uncle, although her Aunt doesn't really seems to mind the fact that he is missing. Along the way the bodies begin to pile up and her car meets with disaster. The wedding scene is memorable, and when her Grandmother gets hold of a stun-gun people start dropping left and right! When a missing Uncle turns into a bigger investigation involving the police and federal agents, no one is more surprised than Stephanie, and no one is less surprised than Joe Morelli!! How does a person of small stature fit into this picture can only be imagined. The boxer who has threatened her in past novels makes his ugly and intimidating return leaving Stephanie fearing for her life. Tie all these together and throw in Evanovich's delightfully hysterical sense of humor and add an edginess with Ramirez's return and you have a great book that is fast paced, exciting, funny and gritty.

Summary: Not literature, but who cares?
Review: This is by far the most fun I've had reading a mystery series. Stephanie Plum is a wisecracking bounty hunter with a hamster, a spunky grandmother, and two men to choose from. Evanovich sense of place and time is terrific, her characterizations are individual, and her pace is quick. She has said that she writes for people who don't have much time to read and if she can write on command like that, more power to her. She does not pretend to be writing literature, but that has its place, and so does this. I call it fluff, but in a good way. It's mindless fun, something you don't have to think about. And sometimes that exactly what I want.

Summary: Wicked!!!
Review: Only once in a while do we get a book filled with thrills and laughters to satisfy even the most cold-hearted of people. Janet Evanovich not only does it with her 5th installment of the Stephanie Plum series, but with all of her books. This one being the last that i read and so far the funniest. It is just filled with mystery and quirky characters and enough laughs to keep you with a smile across your face during the whole book. Read this book

Summary: Ho-hum
Review: I'm going against the tide here but at least its an honest opinion:- This one's a dud, folks. In book 5, the mystery gives way to the romance. In fact, it gives a whole lot of way! Female readers will enjoy this book but the discerning crime-fiction fan probably wont (no matter what their gender). If you already have the first four books and must have this one in your collection, then buy it. Its your money. But if you dont mind, then skip it. Its a dud. Unless of course if you enjoy reading romance novels pretending to be mystery novels. The two stars are for Grandma Mazur. Otherwise, I'd give it just one star.

Summary: A fantastic demonstration of Janet's talent
Review: After absolutely loving the wonderful first book in this series, _One for the Money,_ I found the others somewhat lacking; they were still entertaining for the most part, but they lacked the same spark and didn't draw me in as fully as the first book. _High Five_, however, is fantastic! Stephanie's inner diaglogue is as entertaining as ever, and the plot pulled me along right to the end. There are very few dull moments in the book, and the heat between Morelli and Stephanie is back, with the pleasant addition of some romantic interest from Ranger as well. Morelli's jealousy of this is really charming. Stephanie's luck with vehicles holds in _High Five_, although it's taken a different tack; rather than having her cars sputter and smoke to a painful death, they are blown up and stolen. She has an FTA take up resident in her apartment, Ramirez the homicidal boxer is back, and her mother frets in the kitchen as usual, as Stephanie agrees to some side jobs working for Ranger that put her in even more interesting situations than usual. A very quick and entertaining read. I highly recommend _High Five_.

Summary: Another high 5 stars!
Review: I know Evanovich will likely get tired of Plum novels before her fans do, but in the mean time she doesn't disappoint us. I've just recently become interested in crime novels, so I bounce back and forth between Evanovich and other crime novel authors. However, the others fall short without the delightful element of humor I get from JE's Plum series. The little person in this one worked so well, I had hoped to see him again. Oh, well.

Summary: HIGH FIVE WAS A LITTLE LOW!!!!
Review: Have read these in order and thought this one was a little slow in places. Thought it would just drag through many pages. Stephene is her usual self, trying to do her job. Of course, Mike, Lulu, Ranger and company make for good stuff. The question starts with where is Uncle Fred? He has disappeared and nobody knows what happened to him and no one really seems to care. Pictures are found with body parts in them, could Fred be part of this? There are the comic sections with Grandma and her funeral home visits and the elderly people in Stephenes apartment who are packing, guns that is. Cars get stolen, bombed and general mayhem. All in all a pretty good read.
